How EverSafe Installs a Curbless Shower in 2 Days
Most curbless shower conversions at EverSafe Showers go from an old tub sitting in your bathroom to a fully finished, working shower in about two days. No gutting the room for weeks, no living with a construction zone through the holidays, and no handing your project off between three different subcontractors. One crew, one schedule, start to finish. Here's exactly what those two days, and the steps before them, actually look like.
Before Day One: The Free Consultation
Nothing gets installed until someone from our team has actually seen your bathroom. During your free in-home assessment, a CAPS certified specialist measures your existing tub or shower, checks the plumbing rough-in, and looks at the condition of the subfloor and framing behind it.
This is also when the real decisions get made: the shower base, the wall panel style, the drain type, and whether features like a comfort-height toilet, lever faucets, or grab-bar blocking make sense for how the bathroom will actually be used. You leave that visit with a firm, written quote, not a rough phone estimate, so there's nothing left to guess at once work actually begins.
Day One: Demo and the Foundation
Day one is where the heaviest work happens. Your existing tub or shower gets fully removed, along with any surrounding tile or surround panels. Once the space is open, our crew inspects the subfloor and wall studs, repairing anything that's deteriorated before it gets sealed behind new material. This matters more in older Texas homes than people expect, since a bathroom that's been in place since the 1970s, 80s, or 90s often has wear behind the walls that was never visible until now.
From there, the waterproofing system goes in first, before anything else is installed on top of it. Then the new shower base gets set and leveled, with a true curbless or low-threshold entry built into the slope from the start, not added on afterward. Grab-bar blocking gets installed in the walls at this stage too, whether or not bars go up on day one, so the option is there for later without opening the wall again.
Day Two: Walls, Fixtures, and Finish Work
Day two is where the bathroom actually starts looking finished. Our made-in-USA, premium large-format wall panels go up, manufactured in Dallas, which means far fewer seams than tile and one less thing that can eventually crack, stain, or trap mold. Plumbing fixtures and the shower valve get connected, and any grab bars, a fold-down bench, comfort-height toilet, or glass get installed based on what was chosen during your consultation.
Once everything's in place, our crew tests the water flow and drainage to confirm everything works exactly as it should, cleans the work area completely, and walks you through basic care and your Limited Lifetime Warranty on materials and workmanship before leaving. You're not left to figure out maintenance on your own, and you're not left with a mess to clean up either.
Why This Actually Takes Two Days and Not Two Weeks
A few things make this timeline realistic instead of a sales pitch. Everything is installed by our own crews, not subcontractors passed between different companies, so there's no scheduling gap waiting for the next trade to show up. Our wall panels and shower bases are manufactured in Dallas rather than special-ordered from overseas, which means materials are ready when your installation is scheduled instead of sitting on a container ship. And because slip-resistant flooring, low or curbless entry, and grab-bar blocking are standard on every installation, not optional add-ons decided mid-project, there's nothing to pause on and reconsider once demo day starts.
What If Your Project Is Bigger Than a Standard Conversion
A straightforward tub-to-shower conversion is what most two-day timelines describe. If your project involves moving plumbing lines, expanding the footprint of the bathroom, or a full renovation that includes new flooring or a vanity, it's a larger scope of work and takes longer than two days. Your specialist will walk you through a realistic timeline for your specific bathroom during your free consultation, before anything is scheduled, so there are no surprises once work begins.
Paying for It
Because pricing depends on the size of your bathroom and the features you choose, we give you a firm number after your free assessment, not before. If it's not the right time to pay the full amount up front, EverSafe partners with multiple third-party lenders to offer flexible financing, and we offer a veteran and military discount as a veteran-owned, family-operated company.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a curbless shower installation actually take? Most standard tub-to-shower conversions are completed in about two days, from removing the old tub to a fully functional shower. Larger remodels involving plumbing changes or a full bathroom overhaul take longer.
Will I be able to use my new shower right away? Yes. Once the final walkthrough is complete on day two, including testing water flow and drainage, your shower is ready to use.
Do I need to move out of my house during installation? No. You can stay in your home throughout the process, though you won't have access to that specific bathroom during the one to two days of active work.
Is there a lot of mess or dust? Our crew cleans the work area thoroughly before leaving each day and again at the final walkthrough. You shouldn't be left to deal with construction debris or dust after we're done.
What's covered under the warranty? Every installation is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering both materials and workmanship.
Do you subcontract the installation? No. Installations are completed by EverSafe's own crews from start to finish, not handed off between subcontractors.
Is financing available? Yes. EverSafe partners with multiple third-party lenders to offer flexible financing options, and we offer a discount for veterans and active military.
Is a curbless entry included standard, or is it an upgrade? Slip-resistant flooring, low or curbless entry, and grab-bar blocking are included as standard on every installation, not upgrades added to the price later.
